[Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the prostate]

A patient with a rare primary lymphoma of the prostate is presented. Clinical symptoms may be a reason of mistake, that are highly suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatic adenocarcinoma. Before treatment all patients should have to determined the histopathological diagnosis (made by prostatic biopsy or by prostatectomy) because treatment of patients with primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the prostate is quite different then treatment of patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma. After treatment with combination chemotherapy appropriate for the clinical stage and the specific histological subtype our patient achieved a complete remission and remained free of disease after twelve months.
